95. The Priceless Gift

1 Rapture my bosom is swelling,
Grace, all sufficient and free,
Gift, every blessing excelling,
Jesus has offered to me.

Chorus:
Gift of a merciful Father,
Grace, all-sufficient and free,
Seal of the final redemption,
Jesus has offered to me.

2 Op'ning the portals of heaven,
Giving from sin a release,
Faith with its blessed assurance,
Mercy, and pardon, and peace. [Chorus]

3 Free to the poor and the needy,
Free to the sad and oppressed,
Balm to the wounded in spirit,
Bringing the weary one rest. [Chorus]

4 Come to the Fountain of Mercy;
Come, for salvation is free;
List to the Savior's assurance,
"Grace is sufficient for thee." [Chorus]
